Birds & Buffaloes at Menster Brill Nature Reserve
Louise Benjamin (Cambridge) and Philip Birget (Oxford) have teamed up to make us a great outdoor day in the Menser Brill Nature Reserve.
We will meet in the morning beginning with bird ringing, where we will have the chance to observe at close quarters the careful work of monitoring and recording local birdlife. Afterwards we will make our way to the nearby buffalo hide to see whether the herd is in residence which is always a memorable sight.
To round off the morning, Louise Benjamin is kindly inviting us to her nearby home for coffee and croissants will be served nearby.☕🥐
Please note: The main walking trail in the nature reserve is officially closed for repairs, so unfortunately we cannot include the full reserve walk in the programme for the time being. However, the buffalo hide remains accessible from the road, and refreshments are only 10–15 minutes’ walk from the bird-ringing area (or about 2 minutes by car).
We hope you will join us for this informal and convivial outing combining nature, wildlife, and good company.
